someone should really make a flashable of that. check into the zte awe on androidforums. i believe they have a flashable which you can then take the system folder from your backup and the boot.img, stuff em in the zip replacing the awes files using the archive manager of your choice (i like winrar myself) and boom you should have a flashable stock rom though id make a backup and test it first before you release it
[Android General] Krsmqn:

check the script. its buried in metainfo. there will be a file named updater-script and you will want to edit it with a text editor that supports unix eol. anything in linux or on windows i recommend notepad+ regular built in notepad will break the file

remove the assert lines or preferably adjust them to the devices buildprop settings for safety but its not entirely necessary. if you flash this software onto an awe the same thing happens as if you put the awe software on the source, it just wont boot
[Android General] strykerhandy:
ok so how do i know what to put in to the code and where again?

oh did you mean the asset lines? as in====msm_sdcc.1 for the AWE and=====mmcblk0p1 foor the source?
[Android General] Junkie2100:
no not asset lines. go in the meta-inf folder, thwn com, then google, then android. updater-script. it seems itll need to be checked tho. cooldudezack over at androidforums told me the error is likely missing semicolons near the end i think it was. run some sort of edify checker on it. and head over to androidforums where theres an entire section for this phone and the identical sister phones its easier that way
[Android General] strykerhandy:
okthank you.. i have a couple more questions if you have some time???? i got the kernel to flash but the rom will not ... also i have been readding up on stuff and tweaking the rom code little by little and ts loadin more and moe up but i realized a coupoe hours ago that i should ne checking the logs and i did so i am getting the emmc error... i cant find anywhere that has a solutuon posted for ZTE devices but i have pretty much getterd that i am pretty screwed kinda,,, do you know anything about the ECCM bug or how to fix it or anyting at about anything that had to do with this error.... thank uou so much

Don't give up. Be patient. Someone will get this device figured out. It takes months sometimes to get this stuff straightened out. I have a feeling that we will be seeing a custom rom soon enough. Keep the faith.... And your phone.
[Android General] Junkie2100:
i have no idea what you mean by "the" emmc error. you have to be specific there is more than one possible emmc error. its not really a bug im sure... it may be an improperly formatted partition, may be a bad kernel, i dont really know

as far as the flashable did you start with just the awe oc kernel zip? or did you go get their stock rom? kuz you need their full flashable stocl rom and the edify needs to be checked otherwise you cant flash the whole thing. ill tell you right now even i couldnt make a damaged rom work on the warp 4g without a full backup restore

eithrr way tho go ask around in the android forums source section yiur results will be better. it is rare anyone ever finds a single thread on xda about a zte, theres no zte following here, af has a large zte following
[Android General] strykerhandy:
my stomach just hit the floor haha.. really mmonths? do you think it will take that long? i am not sure about what going on but i do know that there are some smart people on here so i am sure that there will be some solutions to this soon. i got the kernel to flash so i think as soon as the coding for the rom is straight i should be able to flash the rom too. i hope.... thank you guys please keep me posted

What modifications have you made? If none, try turning the phone off, plug in your charger (but don't connect the there end to the wall) and wiggle very gently, then pull it out slowly. (Sounds perverse, I know)

I've noticed that the charging port on these phones aren't secured too well and when they get loose, it messes with the graphics.

[Android General] Spz0:
Have you done a factory reset yet?
[Android General] Spz0:
cwm? You sure can boot to it from a pc, provided you can get to ftm mode (Vol down +power). You can adb reboot bootloader, then access fastboot and fastboot boot hera_cwm.img. That will boot you into a temp image of cwm. Wont do much good since you dont have a system partition backup.

Factory data reset through android recovery should be tried first. Vol.Up+Power til you boot to recovery, then choose factory reset.

[Android General] Krsmqn:
Excellent idea. Turn your phone off, press and hold the power button and the volume up key. That should get you into recovery. From there do a factory reset.

[Android General] DrPhant0m:
There aren't many mentions of framaroot in this thread... and I realize I'm responding to a year-old post. I just acquired 2 (#3 arriving today) of these to use for wifi-only applications, so hopefully there is still some support here.

I rooted the first two using vRoot because I couldn't get framaroot to work. I was given two choices in framaroot (I forget what they were, but both LOTR characters). Neither worked. I know you're supposed to install supersu afterward, but superSU told me I still didn't have root after running each. I checked the framaroot compatibility list here... and I don't see "ZTE Source" or "ZTE N9511" among the list.

Can anyone offer help? vRoot has always been kind of a shady alternative to other methods, so I'd prefer to use framaroot.

My end goal was to have a debloated ROM with root, and I don't care if it works on Cricket (my understanding is that none of them will, since Cricket abandoned CDMA, and the reason I got these nice phones for so cheap).

I installed the Sorta Stock Hera ROM by Spz0, and it seems to be working very well.

Would I have just been able to adb push a custom recovery to the phone, and then flash a rooted ROM (Sorta Stock Hera, for instance)? There's also a tool out there by SuperR that uses a linux distro disk to flash CWM. I'm guessing that's essentially adb push-ing CWM?

Thanks for any help. Nothing like reviving an old thread with new questions!

Is the only KitKat for the Source from hroark13's CM11 port?

https://github.com/hroark13/zte_msm8x30_cm11

any other projects (pretty sure his is ceased)

Aha! Boost Mobile shipped a nearly identical phone called the "warp 4g" which is the N9510 vs the N9511, they are both msm8930 and both CDMA - what's crazy is they shipped a stock 4.4.2 rom so will try that
[Android General] DrPhant0m:
Report back on if that warp 4g device software will boot on the Source. I'm using a few Sources in wifi-only environments running Tasker and a few tasker plugins on the CM11 port you mentioned above. I didn't even install GApps... so I have minimal requirements for getting it to run. They aren't activated, so I don't care if there are phone issues, or camera, or SMS, or other typical problems of ROMs ported from other devices... I just want it to run the core OS stable and lean, and run a handful of 3rd party apps related to my automation profiles.

Thanks!
[Android General] _ck_:
Won't have time until next weekend. But it should be safe to try because SuperR has made all kinds of tools for the Source based on the Warp 4G, including recovery and a de-brick utility. Just not located on this forum unfortunately.

The only difference the warp 4g has with the source that I can find is the screen resolution, 480x854 vs 720x1280

Since they use the same graphics processor, hopefully it knows the device resolution and adapts.

If not, we can try asking a dev nicely.

Someone even made a rom that looks like lollipop for the warp 4g (but still 4.4)
[Android General] DrPhant0m:
Cool, sounds good. What forum are you getting your info from, since xda doesn't provide dedicated pages for the Source/Warp? (PM me if you don't want to post URLs for "competing" sites)

[Android General] SilverPony2001:
Hey all, I just got a ZTE source to use as a WIFI device, but it is only booting the the ZTE logo and staying there. I tried booting into stock recovery and restoring the stock firmware, but that didn't work. Tried the UNBRICK tool, and it said it had completed, but same issue after. Any ideas? Is there anyway to install CWM recovery via ADB and flash one of the stock roms with the phone in this state? :confused:
[Android General] DrPhant0m:
I've seen something similar to this on a few of my wifi-only Sources. Tell me this - Are the colors all jacked up?

You may not notice all the time, but if you've tried pulling the battery and/or rebooting the phone a few times, you might notice that there's a bizarre effect going on sometimes, and the colors are weird and/or the screen looks like an old CRT TV from the 80s with poor tracking. (Things waving around or jittering on the screen). I've never seen it happen until after I flash a very experimental (but surprisingly stable on a good install) version of CM11 for the Source. Did this happen to you on the stock ROM?

If this is the case for you... then you will need ADB or some custom recovery options. If you've only got the stock recovery, you can open an ADB channel by choosing "install via ADB" or "install via sideload" (I forget which it's called). If you're able to get to that point, I'd suggest doing the following:

Prerequisite: You know how to use ADB, how to install a custom OS in recovery, and where to put files that you intend to flash via ADB and recovery

Download the recovery.img attachment I've included (It's PhilZ)

Download a stock rooted OS (google it, or check here)

Place the recovery.img file where it can be used in ADB... and the stock rooted OS on the phone or microSD card. (Alternatively, you may try mounting the phone as storage from PhilZ and copying it to the phone from your PC)

via ADB console: adb reboot bootloader (The phone will seemingly turn off, but the red LED will be on)

via ADB console: fastboot boot recovery.img (This will temp-boot the PhilZ Recovery)

Note that this did not FLASH the custom recovery. It's only temporary.

Now that you're in PhilZ Recovery, ensure that you have an OS to flash (Step 3) by finding it in the Install menu first (Don't install... just ensure it's there for you to use)

Wipe the phone by whatever method and how many times you deem worthy

Install the OS

Pray for Success

OPTIONAL: When you are able to boot a rooted OS, install Flashify, and permanently flash a custom recovery to the phone. You can use the same recovery.img file that I attached, or any other compatible recovery. I don't think Flashify will auto-download it for you, you'll have to find it. (This phone is unfortunately not mainstream/new enough for Flashify to have the files in its database)

When I had the "Stuck at ZTE Logo" problem, I also somehow lost one or more of the mounts, which threw an error when loading PhilZ. I couldn't access the internal storage, so I couldn't flash a new ROM. :eek: I googled the problem, and had to do some wild ADB stuff to rebuild the mounts. Eventually I was able to breathe new life into the phone and boot into a stable OS. I'm sorry, but I don't remember enough about that process to give a tutorial from memory like I did above. If you run into this problem, feel free to post or PM with your errors, and maybe something will come back to me.

Good luck!
